Social Responsibility
There has never been a better time to ask ... just what is my business for?
Corporate social responsibility has too often consisted of PR whitewash, a cynical smokescreen of mildly charitable networking, which fools no one and in a linked up world, increasingly runs reputational risk.
This old fashioned approach has not woken up to the 21stC realities facing our communities yet has also forgotten the enlightened community mindedness and stewardship of business leaders of the past.
Today smart businesses recognise that social responsibility is a transformational tool which can help your business thrive in harsh times - and change the world too.
- The people living around your premises or town?
- Staff? Suppliers? People with shared interests and expertise?
- Organisations delivering a community benefit which could be your sub contractors when you pitch for public sector contracts?
- All of the above?
- How sustainable is your procurement?
- What is a community benefit clause?
- Social Impact measurement?
With a track record of 20 years writing and organising events on social responsibility, ethical investment plus an in-depth knowledge of the UK’s dynamic social enterprise scene, I can help you devise a social responsibility strategy designed to win you business, investment, media and policy profile.
